A California state senator who has advocated on behalf of the 
transgender community in the past joked Tuesday that he had an 
idea for legislation that would require the teaching of "Drag 
Queen 101" to schoolchildren.

Sen. Scott Wiener, a Democrat whose district encompasses San 
Francisco, made the comment in response to a tweet from Texas 
Republican state Rep. Bryan Slaton, who said he was filing 
legislation to ban drag shows in the presence of children.

"Drag shows are no place for a child," Slaton tweeted. "I would 
never take my children to a drag show and I know Speaker Dade 
Phelan and my Republican colleagues wouldn’t either. I will be 
filing legislation to address this issue in the new #txlege."

In response, Wiener offered up his own idea.

This guy just gave me a bill idea:

Offering Drag Queen 101 as part of the K-12 curriculum. 
Attending Drag Queen Story Time will satisfy the requirement.

Drag shows are no place for a child.

I would never take my children to a drag show and I know Speaker 
Dade Phelan and my Republican colleagues wouldn’t either.

I will be filing legislation to address this issue in the new 
#txlege .

"This guy just gave me a bill idea: Offering Drag Queen 101 as 
part of the K-12 curriculum," he wrote. "Attending Drag Queen 
Story Time will satisfy the requirement."

Slaton then responded to Wiener's comment, saying: "This man is 
a California legislator. He is clearly sick. Please join me in 
praying for him."

In a news release, he said the law was necessary after a viral 
video circulated online showing children attending a drag show 
in Dallas. The event was advertised as "DRAG THE KIDS TO PRIDE - 
A Family Friendly Drag Show" at the Mr. Misster Dallas bar.

The show attracted negative responses from some members of 
Congress, including Republican Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-
Ga., and Lauren Boebert of Colorado.

"The events of this past weekend were horrifying and show a 
disturbing trend in which perverted adults are obsessed with 
sexualizing young children," Slaton said in a statement. "As a 
father of two young children, I would never take my children to 
a drag show and I know speaker Dade Phelan and the rest of my 
Republican colleagues wouldn’t either."

Wiener's office told Fox News his remarks were a joke.

Whoops! We couldn't access this Tweet.
Wiener has been an advocate for the trans community in the past. 
Most recently, he introduced a bill that would require 
physicians and medical staff to undergo transgender, gender non-
conforming and intersex cultural humility training.

Another would have gotten rid of a requirement that convicted 
sex offenders have to automatically register as sex offenders if 
their age is within 10 years of the minor victim. The bill said 
such laws discriminate against LGBTQ youth because sex acts 
between a male and female in the same scenario are not 
automatically registrable.

In May, Wiener altered a bill to add protections for families 
from outside California who are seeking healthcare treatments 
for transgender minors following a slew of transgender-related 
bills in red states. In 2017, he also came out in support of a 
bill signed into law that reduces penalties for knowingly 
exposing a sexual partner to HIV.

"Legislators passed a number of laws three decades ago, at the 
height of the HIV epidemic, that criminalized behaviors of 
people living with HIV or added HIV-related penalties to 
existing crimes," Wiener said in a news release at the time. 
"These laws were based on fear and on the limited medical 
understanding of the time … In the decades since, societal and 
medical understanding of HIV has greatly improved. Effective 
treatments dramatically lengthen and improve the quality of life 
for people living with HIV — treatments that also nearly 
eliminate the possibility of transmission."

He also authored a bill last year that would decriminalize 
certain hallucinogenic substances, including ecstasy.
